I remember to have map north of Mali rivers in semi-desertic areas that have no water for years. We should not confuse intermittent and seasonal. Simply clarify intermittent on the wiki page.

I seek comments and thoughts on
-------------
Seasonal:
The seasonal tag in well established. I don't think there is much
confusion with it.
---------------
Intermittent:
The intermittent tag continues to be confused with seasonal.
Possibly this is because some want to use it to indicate that a follow
is both seasonal and intermittent?
-------------
Ephemeral:
There is also ephemeral being used with stream=ephemeral. This cannot be
used with other water features e.g. lakes.
I think the tag ephemeral=yes could be used, other ideas for tagging are
flow=ephemeral, water=ephemeral ...
-------------------
Combinations with seasonal?
Think I have raised this before but not come to any firm conclusion myself.
I think that tagging
seasonal=summer
intermittent= yes
leads to confusion. Is the summer flow intermittent? Or is ther regular
summer flow with intermittent flow at other times of year?
It may be better to tag
seasonal:intermittent=summer
or
seasonal=summer
seasonal:intermittent=winter;autumn;spring
